In commemoration of the 2024 World Health Day (WHD), the World Health Organization organised a walk in Abuja on Monday.
The event tagged “Walk the Talk” aimed to promote physical activity, well-being, and a healthy lifestyle among WHO team members, partners and the general public as well as raise awareness on the importance of achieving Universal Health Coverage.
WHD is observed annually on 7 April as a global health awareness day, offering an opportunity to spotlight a specific health problem or issue deserving special attention worldwide.
The WHO said the theme for the 2024 WHD ‘My health, my right’, was chosen to advocate for the entitlement of individuals worldwide to access quality health services, education, and information.
